Bidding Farewell to NaNoWriMo 2009

December 1 is always a little sad for a WriMo (a writer who participated in the literary frenzy of National Novel Writing Month). And so I am sorry it is over. This was one of my better years at it. Lin was in a very chatty mood and I got some progress for book three of the House of Pendragon series. I'm really proud of two scenes in particular. The first was brought to me by the NaNo-torious Traveling Shovel of Death ( A NaNo tradition of sorts!), and will come early in the flashback portion o… Continue

An Excerpt from The House of Pendragon I: The Firebrand

I'm not much of a blogger. My work is in fiction. So here's a short excerpt from my first novel. The House of Pendragon I : The Firebrand Debra A. Kemp Amber Quill Press Available: Amber Quill Press and Amazon Excerpt from Chapter 5 "What did you dream of, Lin?" That was our ritual every morning, trading dreams.

Here Comes the Sun: Matty Bennett

Clay Robinson didn’t know Matty Bennett when he began planning his brewery but the interior designer was destined to have a hand in it. Bennett was born on the Summer Solstice, the centerpiece of the Mayan calendar, which coincidentally inspired Sun King Brewing Co.’s name and logo.

The business of happiness

“This is a business of happiness,” Dave Colt says while sipping a beer he crafted. “What you do here is going to change someone’s life today. There is someone having a shitty day and all they can think about is five o’clock, coming here and drinking a beer that they love.” Colt, the head brewer at the RAM downtown, resigned on April 2 to pursue the business of happiness with his good friend and former employee Clay Robinson as co-ow… Continue

Here Comes the Sun: Baby steps

“We’re relatively serious about this now in case you didn’t notice,” Omar Robinson said. A fine layer of concrete dust coats the floor inside the chilly warehouse that will become Sun King Brewery.
